Link Johnsten never fails to come up with clever new ways to spotlight the charms of his beloved Eau Gallie Arts District. The owner of Eau Gallie Florist and a floral master who for years has created arrangements for the Academy Awards bashes, Johnsten has come up with yet another winner: EGAD in Bloom, a celebration of the garden and its floral treasures.

"Link is one of our greatest assets," said Chevon Baccus, executive director of the Eau Gallie Arts District. "We wanted to do a spring event, and it has become a whole weekend of activities, thanks to Link."
